Helix Gardens | Brixton | SW2

This 3-storey,
semi detached Victorian house was refurbished throughout. The double frontage
was renovated and brought back to its’ former, ornate glory, whilst a new front
garden boundary wall was constructed in the original style. The extensive front
garden was paved to create a patio/dining area with raised planters and the
remaining garden was landscaped and planted.

Internally, the
ground floor was fully opened up to create an open plan kitchen/living and
dining area, with a feature oak-clad stair case and an oak veneered central ‘box’ housing the cloakroom
and WC. Polished concrete was laid throughout the ground floor and a minimal
shadow gap detail was incorporated to the bottom of walls instead of
skirting. Crittal fixed screens, defined
the dining area and contributed to the industrial aesthetic.

We designed the
kitchen, which continued the oak veneer on the perimeter tall units and
high-level units and incorporated feature strip lighting.

A new basement
was constructed, housing a study, utility room and Cinema room with built-in
bar area, which we designed. A covered
courtyard was created to the front of the house at basement level, with storage
below the stairs down from the front garden.
A walk-on glass roof in the front patio allowed light down into this
space.

Upstairs, we
reconfigured the layout to include 6 bedrooms, including a master bedroom, with
dressing room and ensuite.
